Are you interested to connect and learn with other facilitators, but haven’t yet taken the plunge to attend a meetup? It has never been easier to find a meetup near you, or to schedule another where you are – why not join us?

IAF England & Wales now has scheduled free monthly networking & social meetups and quarterly or bi-monthly networking & learning meetups in all four of our ‘IAF facilitators & friends’ regional meetup groups around the country – a fourth group for the Midlands & East of England was just launched this month. Everyone with an interest in group process facilitation is welcome, IAF members and non-members alike.

Our informal leadership team of 8 are ourselves spread around the country, and we are keen to support you to use the meetup groups to convene additional meetups wherever & whenever suits you, according to your own interests and availability. We are particularly keen to support emerging local groups in the North East, North West, East Midlands, the South coast and Devon/Cornwall – please contact us to connect first with others near you, or go ahead and suggest a new meetup in your own regional group.

Still not sure it’ll be worth your time? We asked some of our regulars what they have appreciated most about the meetups and why others should be interested – here are just a few of their replies:
